RNA - microRNA
Whole Genome
The GeneChip® miRNA Array is a powerful tool for studying the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their importance in cancer and other diseases. In addition, miRNA studies facilitate the discovery of biomarkers and disease signatures.
Non-coding RNAs are emerging as a major component of the regulatory circuitry that underlies the development and physiology of complex organisms. miRNAs are small, single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression by partial complementary base pairing to specific mRNAs. This annealing inhibits protein translation and in some cases facilitates the degradation of mRNA.
